In this course, students will learn about myth traditions around the world, from Europe's ancient Greece to south America's Mayans. Throughout, we will use various critical lenses to make sense of these various myths and to compare them. We will examine creation and destruction myths, myths about trickster figures, and the relationship between myths and rituals. Mythologies to be examined include those on the continents of North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Along the way, we will also discuss re-figurations of myths by modern artists and their relevance to us now. |

An examination of building materials and methods used in the construction of domestic, civic, and religious buildings of the Greek and Roman worlds. Topics of discussion include ways in which functions of buildings influenced their forms; comparative studies of the works of individual architects; architectural adaptations to local topography; propaganda purposes of architecture; and ancient opinions and accounts of architecture, including selections from the works of Plautus, Vitruvius, and Pliny the Elder; and Latin inscriptions. We will then compare written accounts to archaeological evidence. Students in LATN 314 will read some of the material in Latin, whereas all of the reading for CLCV 214 will be in English. |

What do films and television programs set in ancient Greece say about us and our identities now? This course explores the relationship modern artists have constructed with ancient Greece in the cinema and on the television screen. The main focus will be on how contemporary Americans view, depict, and change ancient experiences based on differing circumstances of time and place. Topics for discussion include the distinction between “myth” and “history”, the depiction of gender, the representation of the divine, considerations of the audience, and the mechanics of adaptation. Films may include Disney’s Hercules (1997), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), Troy (2004), and 300 (2007). Television programs may include Xena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001) and Wishbone (1995-1999). |

In this course, students will analyze approaches to nature, ecology, and the environment within the cultural contexts of ancient Rome. The natural world—the realm of plants, animals, weather, and geological phenomena—was of great interest to Roman artists and authors. Variously depicted as dangerous and antagonistic to humanity and civilization or as an idealized space of comfort and cultural production, the natural world held an ambivalent position in Roman thought, considered both sharply differentiated from and yet vital to human life. As such, nature was central to a number of different realms of Roman culture, which we will analyze in this course: scientific inquiry, sacrificial/religious spaces, philosophical discourses, hunting, dining, and political and dynastic messaging. In addition, student will compare ancient approaches to modern conversations on nature and ecology, including climate and conservation. |

This course investigates the relationship between stagecraft, representation, and collective agency in democratic life. Insofar as democracy aspires to maintain vibrant public conversations, this course considers how citizens are shaped by communal performances of myths, stories, and other manifestations of theater. How does theater cultivate democratic practices-and how might it perpetuate marginalization? Is there something theatrical at the core of democratic belonging? Investigating these questions, we turn to ancient Greek dramas, then place them into conversation with modern political theoretic debates about art and politics, and then consider recent transformations in stagecraft, focusing especially on social media and populism. |

An examination of the New Testament in the context of the first century C.E. to study the formation and themes of these early Christian writings. The course will stress the analysis of texts and discussion of their possible interpretations. How did the earliest writings about Jesus present him? Who was Paul? Is it more accurate to call him the founder of Christianity instead of Jesus? How do we understand Gospels that are not in the New Testament? We will attend to these and other social, political, and historical issues for studying the New Testament and Early Christianity. |
